EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exotic and beautiful Philodendron devansayeanum, a tropical plant native to South America. The illustration was created by A. Goossens and expertly rendered in chromolithography by Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1895. The Philodendron devansayeanum is known for its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that can grow up to 30 cm long. The leaves are a vibrant green color with distinctive white veins, creating a striking contrast. The plant produces small, white flowers that bloom in clusters, adding to its allure. Chromolithography was a popular method of printing during the late 19th century, allowing for detailed and accurate reproductions of intricate botanical illustrations. This particular print showcases the skill and artistry of both Goossens and de Pannemaeker, capturing the essence of the Philodendron devansayeanum in vivid color and exquisite detail. The Philodendron devansayeanum was a prized possession for collectors and horticulturists of the time, and this print would have been a cherished addition to their personal collections. The plant's exotic beauty and rarity made it an object of fascination, and the high-quality chromolithograph allowed people to appreciate its splendor even if they could not obtain the actual plant. Today, this print remains a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past, providing a glimpse into the world of tropical plants and the passion for botanical illustration that flourished during the late 19th century.
